The mission of the LMC is to provide the resources designed to meet the educational needs and interests of our students and teach the skills to find the resources.  Students are able to utilize the Library Media Center individually and in an entire-class situation.

The three large, secondary-level BCPS Library Media Centers are original members of the Valley Library Consortium and are the only school library members.  Both the on-line catalog and the circulation system run through the VLC.  Handy, CHS and Western are the only school libraries in the entire area with a shared catalog with all our local public libraries.
